The Captain and The Kid

Lyrics

I've been out on this road some
 Can't help feeling I've been showing my friends around
 ♪
 I've seen it growing from next to nothing
 Into a giant eating up your town
 ♪
 Called up the tealeaves and the tarots
 Asked the gypsy what she sees in the palm of our hands, oh yeah
 She saw a mountain and wild deer running
 A crazy kid becoming a better man
 ♪
 But we stuck around for the fireworks
 Waiting to explode
 Shaped our futures, you a Tumbleweed
 And me on a Yellow Brick Road
 Pleasing the people some of the time
 For better or for worse
 An urban soul in a fine silk suit
 And a heart out west in a Wrangler shirt
 And you can't go back
 And if you try it fails
 Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
 A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale"
 And that's what we did
 No lies at all just one more tale
 About the Captain and the kid
 ♪
 We've been missing at times in action
 Can't imagine what he said he might do for you, oh yeah
 The devil got to come to the party sometimes
 But he never got to wear our shoes
 
 Oh we've conjured up what we created
 Way back then when I was standing up in six-inch heels
 ♪
 Now you're riding off into the sunset
 And I'm still spinning like a Catherine wheel
 
 But we stuck around for the battle
 Waiting for a plan
 To turn you into the Brown Dirt Cowboy
 And me into a Rocket Man
 It pleases the people some of the time
 Digging into our roots
 But I got a brand new pair of shoes
 And you're on a horse in your old cowboy boots
 And you can't go back
 And if you try it fails
 Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
 A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale"
 And that's what we did
 No lies at all just one more tale
 About the Captain and the kid
 
 No, you can't go back
 And if you try it fails
 Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
 A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale"
 And that's what we did
 No lies at all just one more tale
 About the Captain and the kid
